Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) A secure communication scheme that uses the random fluctuation of the natural environment of communication channels is studied. We have been developing a novel secret key generation and agreement scheme that uses the fluctuation of channel characteristics with an Espar (Electronically Steerable Parasitic Array Radiator) antenna, which has been studied as a variable directional antenna for consumers. We acquire more randomized and stronger secret keys generated from the interleaved RSSI values in this scheme. As a result of experiments on the prototype system in which the IEEE802.15.4/ZigBee chip is mounted, we confirmed that the success probability of the key generation was estimated to be more than 99.99% when 128-bit secret keys are changed every three seconds and that the generated secret keys were sufficiently random to pass the statistical test for random numbers of the FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) PUB 140-2.
